Chapter 886
"Casterly Rock's Lannister is dead, Tywin's Lannister is dead." Fat eunuch shouted in fear, holding a letter.
"clang when-" The copper-skin kettle slipped from Jaime's hand and hit the ground, the water gurgled and stained a large area of soil, "How is that possible?"
"You Say what?" Tyrion unfathomable mystery asked.
"Your family, all-family-dead-all-out." Varys swallowed hard.
"Fuck, your whole family was eaten up by Others." Tyrion cursed, rushed forward a few steps and snatched the letter.
Jaime also leaned his head over.
They both frowned with just one look.
There are a lot of words on the stationery, but they are all numbers, which makes two brothers dazzled.
"What is this?" Jaime hurriedly asked.
"It should be a password, using numbers as a way of encrypting text." Tyrion looked towards fat eunuch in surprise, "You learned it from Dragon Queen?"
"several decades ago I invented the method of encrypting messages with numbers. When you say that, I doubt that she learned from me."
Varys muttered, looked at the two Lannisters worriedly, and said softly. Said: "The letter came from Casterly Rock. I also have little birds in Casterly Rock. Your family... Hundreds of people died, and the direct line and the close line are almost all dead. "
During The Spider Peak, even in Qarth, in Vaes Dothrak, with spies in Slaver's Bay, it wasn't unusual for a bird or two to appear at the Duke of Seven's house.
Song of Ice and Fire's first spy chief is Varys.
"You're kidding me." Looking at eunuch's serious eyes with pity and intolerance, Tyrion's heart tightened suddenly, and he tried to crack a smile that was uglier than crying, "I was a few days ago. I also contacted Uncle Damion, I told him, don't worry about Dragon Queen and Stannis anymore.
He said with a smile, he believed I didn't kill Uncle Kevan, and also said that Genna aunt's family was also in two days. It will return to Casterly Rock from Riverrun."
Jaime said bitterly: "Who can capture Casterly Rock? Could it be Others? It shouldn't be, Others are also impossible to break Casterly Rock in an instant.
If the Others attack, Mage Grumm in Casterly Rock can use the glass candle to instantly contact the Dragon Queen in Dragonstone, and then the 'Dawn Warrior' stationed in Harrenhal will immediately rush to support..."
"It's not Others, it's food poisoning, collective food poisoning," Varys said.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Both brother's eyes were about to pop out.
"Your Genna aunt, is Riverrun Earl Emmon Frey's wife?" Varys asked.
"Don't talk about these useless things, let's make things clear about Casterly Rock first." Tyrion said irritably.
Varys spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's over, and including Fire Sorcerer Grumm, Casterly Rock has died eight hundred and seventy-four.
It's that simple.
p>
They all died of collective poisoning at the banquet, even Maester died, and the medicine is still undetermined.
My spy is not sure if it was an accident, or if it was an enemy of Lannister who poisoned it. There should be follow-up news in a few days."
"Damn!" Jaime's eyes were sore, he slammed his fist on the stone wall, and choked: "It's all my fault, I should be after the Battle of Winterfell. Go back to Casterly Rock immediately."
Tyrion turned his head away, wiped the tears from his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for not going back, at least we are alive, Cersei is alive, Slaver's Bay and Myrcella."
The two brothers bowed their heads sadly for a while. Tyrion wiped away the tears on his face first, then raised his head and asked eunuch, "What did you want to say before?"
Varys hesitated for a moment, then said: "There are dead people outside the Riverrun, you know?"
Tyrion rubbed his red eyes and shook his head. "I only know that there are Others in the Riverlands."
Jaime though. He has been digging holes in tunnels, but he has also been getting information from Varys, and he is not slow to the outside world.
He said: "Dragon Queen's judgment on that day was not wrong. The Others King started a second life and disappeared, but the activities of the Others going south did not stop, but changed from a large-scale rush to the city to a Small-scale, large-scale infiltration of individual Others.
In the North and Riverlands, large areas of tombs were stolen, and the dead crawled out of the ground to strengthen the ranks of the Others.
Wights If there are too many, it will inevitably show traces in front of people. There have been warnings of Wights appearing on the periphery of many castles and villages in the Riverlands.”
“In the last month, there have been at least three Others warnings in Riverrun, but Dragon Queen Ignored them and the Dawn Warrior didn't move." Varys said strangely.
"I really don't know about that, is it because Others is so small?" Tyrion asked.
Varys said otherwise: "Riverrun is the capital of the Riverlands, the Walker Resisting Committee more precisely the Dragon Queen, and neither has sent the Alchemist (Fire Sorcerer of the King's Landing Guild of Alchemists) to Riverrun. ), and did not distribute indulgence and Dragonglass weapons to Riverrun.
If there is Others army attacking Riverrun, I am afraid that it will fall within half an hour like North's Hearth, so your aunt family has to leave.
While most of the Lion Family army is occupied in King's Landing, Casterly Rock is unprecedentedly empty, and they also welcome any military force that comes to take refuge, not to mention Lady Genna is the Lannister direct line."
"Why did the Dragon Queen specifically target my aunt?" Tyrion wondered.
"It's not about Genna aunt, it's Walder Frey!" Jaime said with a bitter smile.
Varys glanced at him, nodded and said: "Dragon Queen has mentioned many times that after the battle of Meereen, she will go back to Westeros to hold a Great Council, and put Westeros' bad things of the past 20 years. Reason it."
"I know that." Tyrion said immediately.
Even Jaime knows what the Dragon Queen is thinking.
"Now that the Others are heading south, it's almost impossible to get the Seven Kingdoms nobles together again, so some things are discussed online only through glass candles and letters.
At that time, you Seems like it's still in Slaver's Bay, and the whole process has lasted less than a week because Walder Frey's non-cooperation ended prematurely," Varys said.
"Don't beat around the bush, just say what you want to say," dwarf said impatiently.
"This is my way of saying it, do you want to listen? Leave me if you don't listen." Varys said indifferently.
Jaime seemed to understand something, "You go on."
Varys said slowly, "Kingslayer became Greycloak Guard, Lannister, at least Jaime and Targaryen's feud was settled.
Next, Dragon Queen turns her attention to Red Wedding and Purple Wedding.
Purple Wedding has long been concluded, Joffrey died in the Old Rose and Littlefinger conspiracy, Tyrell It was also exterminated by the Euron clan.
Queen only officially announced that Tyrell and Littlefinger's titles were abolished.
Everyone died, of course the Seven Kingdoms nobles had no objection.
Originally Red Wedding was also very simple, it is known what happened to The Twins, the problem was the outcome of the Dragon Queen's trial."
"Dragon Queen means: First, Old Walder admits For the crime of violating the guest right and betraying the monarch, he must publicly apologize to Winterfell in front of the Seven Kingdoms nobles, that is, each noble will send a Raven;
Second, those who participated in the Red The Frey of the Wedding, including the Old Walder oneself, all have to suicide to apologize;
Third, deprive House Frey of the title of Duke of Riverlands, The Twins still belong to Frey, but House Frey is demoted from Marquess to Landed Knight, The Twins The surrounding Fiefdom was taken over by Iron Throne, and Iron Throne paid a sum of money to compensate the families of the victims in the Red Wedding.
Of course, there was a holy wedding before the Red Wedding.
Stark He should also be punished. Robb violated the Holy Marriage Covenant and was no less guilty than Old Walder.
First of all, Robb, like Walder Frey, also had to suicide to apologize. At the same time, the current North Duke, in front of the Seven Kingdoms nobles, Public apology to The Twins Frey; Second, Winterfell must be content to be divorced The Miss Frey of a wish that conforms to the teachings of The Seven.
In this way, Frey and House Stark's grievances are settled. "
Tyrion's mouth twitched: "It's fair, but for Walder Frey, I'm afraid it's a little hard to accept." "
Jaime sighed: "Old Walder should accept that the most valuable thing in The Twins is not the Fiefdom and the title, but The Twins themselves as the only bridge to Green Fork."
Frey was the victim of Robb's violation of sacred marriage, and the Dragon Queen has taken that into consideration, leaving House Frey with the foundation to rise. "
Varys said with a sneer: "Walder Frey doesn't want to die, and doesn't feel that oneself should give up the position of Duke of Riverlands." He said it was created by Iron Throne, and the Dragon Queen was not eligible to revoke his title and Fiefdom. "
"Didn't Old Walder know the outcome of the Battle of Meereen?" Dare to refuse Dragon Queen, the courage is fat enough. Tyrion wondered.
Jaime shook his head and said, "That glass candle online trial was just an experiment.
After the Dawn Warrior was established, demonstrate the use and effects of glass candles to the Seven Kingdoms nobles to strengthen their confidence in the Walker Resisting Committee.
Walder Frey knew this, and he was sure the Dragon Queen wouldn't really care about his reaction.
And he already understands the bottom line of Dragon Queen. When Long Night passes and Dragon Queen settles the accounts, he will be dead for many years, and Frey will not be punished more severely. Great profit! "
Varys sighed: "In fact, Dragon Queen did not arrange for dragon to burn the city, she just gave up Riverrun completely.
Indulgence, Magic Network, Dragonglass Weapons, Dawn Warrior's Rescue, none of them. "
"What does this have to do with the mass poisoning incident at Casterly Rock?" "Tyrion asked hesitantly.
Although he was asking eunuch, his face became serious, and like Jaime, there was a vague guess in his heart.
Varys said meaningfully. : "The reason why so many people were poisoned, even Maester and Sorcerer, who was in charge of glass candles, were recruited, just because Casterly Rock was holding a banquet that day, welcome the Frey family (ps) from Riverrun!
Dragon Queen refuses to help Riverrun, the news from Winterfell is too terrifying, and now there is a small group of Wights outside Riverrun, the people in the castle can't sit still and flee to Casterly Rock where the third line of defense is being formed It is also intended.
Riverrun also brought five thousand Riverlands army and a large amount of emergency food to Casterly Rock. Can we not celebrate it? "
"And then Walder Frey, that old bastard, led Frey's enemies to Casterly Rock too?" Tyrion's eyes were red, and he was about to cry again.
Varys' eyes flickered, "Perhaps, it's not a disaster for the pond fish, how many sins you Lannisters have done, don't you have any points in your oneself?" "
"Guess who the murderer is? "Tyrion's eyes are indifferent.
Varys waved his hand, as if to drive away something terrifying, "So far this discussion, I'm just a messenger, and I don't want to participate in your grievances.
More than 800 people who say kill will kill, the real killing star, I'm afraid! "
